Morph [AGA]

[DamienD]

Anyone know how to get this working?

Use a QS 1200 4MB Fast RAM expanded configuration, after the intro and title screen the game goes back to AmigaDOS screen.

Tried TOSEC .ADFs and .IPFs.

With the OCS / ECS version you are asked for disk 2 around the same time but there is no prompt in the AGA version (and doesn't seem to be a gap in loaded).

There is also /~Uploads/Sea7/Tosec UNK/friends Dumps/Morph aga (1).zip on EAB server.

Always make sure you have the compatibility slider on best compatibility position.
At least i can re-produce your problem with the slider(moving to low compatibility) !

out of curiosity i just tested the version suggested by s2325 and it worked fine here with winuae. it asked for disk 2 and i inserted Morph (1993)(Millennium)(AGA)(Disk 2 of 2).zip from the server and everything was ok
game seems pretty good from first impression.

All sorted now; worked out that I needed to have 24bit addressing ticked for this one.

My old standard AGA template (WinUAE v1.0.0) doesn't have this line as it wasn't around back then. This is the first AGA game out of 60 that I've set up so far in the new 3.2 versions that needs this ticked.

Cheers guys

I'm having issues in reaching to play this one, using winuae.
The game loads fine, and i can reach the main menu, but after that seems starting an infinite demo mode, i have tried to press every button/keys/mouse but nothing.

tried both ipf and adf's from eab search

EDIT
A1200 standard conf, max compatibility, and 24 bit addressing tested, nothing.
EDIT 2
??? quite strange running this game... i am testing also the ocs version (ipf), same thing it seems

now, i have reached to play, but in a strange way
basically the game seems autoplaying at start, and i needed to wait until the first error; after that event, magically appears a 'try again' option, selecting that one i reached to play finally, with the joystick controls finally working

[DamienD]

Indeed this no longer works for me...

I tried pressing numerous keys, 2 out of 8 attempts I actually got the game to start.

Looked at the CD32 manual; as there's none for OCS / ECS and the AGA one is German, and it says:

You have to push DIAGONALLY on the joystick to select each level!

NW = LAB AREA
NE = FACTORY AREA
SW = GARDEN AREA
SE = SEWER AREA

Well, a few minutes after I posted this... I thought, ok I should try diagonals.

...but then got caught up in real work / my job.

Next time I look, you've posted what I was already thinking

[BarryB]

OK, we BOTH figured it out

In fact, the manual isn't that helpful:

At the beginning of the game the screen shows the four areas. At the
centre of the screen is Morph's home. By simply pushing in the appropriate
direction on the joystick you can chose which area to enter.

It doesn't actually TELL YOU to push diagonally!

Thank you both @BarryB and @DamienD
never seen a starting so strange, without a 'press fire to begin' or something like... and also the game starts alone after a while in a demo mode, this cause a lot of confusion imo
and those crappy diagonal also... wtf

I could only check the CD32 manual as the one for OCS / ECS is in German...

You probably have the luxury of reading the English manual from an original that you purchased...

You should scan for HOL

I know, confusing as hell

It's only that I looked at the CD32 manual, then thought of pressing the joystick in diagonals, but only after trying what seemed obvious:

• 1, 2, 3, 4.
• F1, F2, F3, F4.
• G (for The Garden), F (for The Factory), S (for The Sewers), L (for The Laboratory).
